About: Hi! My name is Ella and I am 18 years old. I have had both cats and dogs in my home since I was born and have loved being around animals from a very young age. I feel very comfortable caring for and being around both cats and dogs. I currently am a cat foster parent for The Bond Between, a cat and dog rescue organization and have adopted two cats and a dog from them. Aside from fostering, I also volunteer there as an animal caretaker where I get hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a pretty open summer with time to take dogs for potty breaks or stop in for some cat playtime! I am happy to spend time with your furry friend. I leave to college starting late September! The safety and comfort of both you and your pet are my top priority. As a caregiver, my responsibility is to provide a trusting and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I am attentive and organized which will help me successfully provide top notch care. I am confident in my abilities to feed, walk, play and clean up after cats and dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, helping my parents take care of them growing up. In highschool I got a job at a pet hotel and worked there for a year. This was a great experience, I got to see how dogs interact with each other and learned how to take care of different types of dogs. I have also helped house sit some of our family friends dogs. I am home from college and have most days free. I am available most of the days and am happy to work whenever I am needed. I can not watch any dogs in my house. However, I will take good care of your pets in your house. I will follow any instructions given and help keep your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember - from taking care of my own 2 pets for over 14 years to having a animal shelter volunteering themed birthday. I provide chill, but attentive care to your pets! I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time all days of the week to come help out - morning, afternoon, and evening. I approach every pet with as much calm and gentleness as I possibly can. I get that your fur baby might need a little time to get used to a new person around, and will always meet them at their level!
About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
